Cindee, Ken, Chad and family. There are many things in life that we come to regret, not being able to join you at mom's memorial is one of my regrets. As you know Judy unfortunately had a couple of seizures that started the day before. It did not feel proper to leave my sister in the care of a cousin, who would have stayed with her, but had no skill at handling such an occurence should it arise. As it turned out Judy was ok----I'm sure your mom would understand my taking care of "the Jude" as your mom called her. I loved your mom's laugh and the laughs we frequently shared, unfortunately it mostly was over the phone, at least every month; we made each other laugh sometimes to tears.God,there never was a call we did not share a hearty laugh. I'll miss her calls and voice. We had fun a few years back when I'd call often prending to be for the commitee to elect Trump, she always played along..Just recently, a couple of days before Christmas when we got together for the last time, she was unafraid of the future, she went so far as to say she was ready and accepting, but would still do her best to fight.. It was a true profile in courage.I'm glad mom and I got to be with her that day. There are so many memories, all good, with so little space to mention. I will look forward to seeing her again in the great beyond. Going forward a tear will first appear, only to in a few seconds be repalced by a laugh when I remember hers. God Bless her and you all.Rest in peace dear cousin and most of all friend.By the way dear Carole you look gorgeous in your picture.
